At any ev ent, t is not believed anyone was hurt unless hoboes were on the train and are burled beneath the wreckage. Transfers Made Today. Local division officials say that it is scarcely possible to have the track cleared by. evening and it is more like ly that it wll be morning before clear ance signals are given out. In order not to hold the overland trains too long, consolidations and transfers were ordered immediately this morn ing. The fast mail No. 10, was held here several hours awaiting the ar rival of the regular eastbound pas senger number six, and the two, trains were consolidated here and on arriv ing at the scene of the wreck passeng ers and mail were tranBfered to No seven which has been waiting at the wreck since early this morning. The trains were then sent back from the directions whence they came.
